Greeting

Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, To the saints who are in Ephesus, and are faithful in Christ Jesus:

Thanksgiving and Prayer

For this reason, because I have heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love toward all the saints,

having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope to which he has called you, what are the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints,

So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God,

To me, though I am the very least of all the saints, this grace was given, to preach to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ,

may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth,

to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ,

But sexual immorality and all impurity or covetousness must not even be named among you, as is proper among saints.

praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end, keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints,
